Frances Micklow/The Star-LedgerReggie Cameron of Hudson Catholic is The Star-Ledger's top performer for boys basketball this week.

JUST THE STATS: An all-around talent who is drawing the
attention of Division 1 colleges across the country, the 1,000-point career scorer is
averaging 19.7 points and 10.5 rebounds per game for Hudson Catholic, which is 19-2 record and ranked No. 8 in The Star-Ledger Top
20. In his last three games, Cameron
is averaging 25.6 points, 10.0 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game. He is
shooting 70 percent from two-point range and 48 percent from 3-point range on 55-of-114 shooting.

COACH'S QUOTE: "Reggie used to have a stigma of being known
as a shooter only, but he has definitely shed that image to become an
all-around player. We all know he can shoot, but he can post up, defend, finish
in transition, handle the ball ... he is the complete package. He is also a very
bright kid, a leader, a hard worker and a mentor to the younger kids.'' -- Hudson Catholic coach Nick
Mariniello.

PLAYER'S QUOTE: "We're having a great season. We have two
losses by a combined three points and feel we could have won both, but that
drives us to keep playing hard and to keep getting better. I'm averaging 20
points and 11 rebounds, but it wouldn't mean anything if we weren't winning.
That's the most important thing.''
